Surrounded

A poem set in the Star Wars universe. First person Rebel POV.

Surrounded

The rifles levelled in my direction
You push your way to me
Your face shining
With barely hidden glee

I am yours
I see it now.

Surrounded.
Kneeling on this cold hard floor
On the bridge, amidst the gore
"You are under arrest!"
In the name of the Empire,
Imperial law.
Oh, haven't I heard this before?

Surrounded.
Your blaster to my head
I resign myself to only fate
Close my eyes
Wait for my soul to fly

Surrounded.
Angels bear me to cloud nine
I must have died
Did I even cry?
The light shining bright
Soft winds blowing by
I am home, I am safe
I am fine.

Surrounded.
Many machines - thousand screens
Wavy lines, electric green
Signs of life
I am alive.

Surrounded.
You are here
Trapping me with your cold stare
Can't run anywhere
I am
Surrounded.
